This page is self indulgence, really just for the people that
were there. Some of us went into Swanage town via the Steam Railway for a pub
lunch and a general look around. This helped to break up the journey a little.

After a refreshing pub lunch
and a couple of rounds of Pool.

The water in Swanage Harbour
was so clear that you could see right through it, unlike the water in the
English Channel which you can only just run a ship through it!

In Swanage Station are a
couple of stored loco's.

This is typical of what would
have worked on the line in times gone by.

All too soon it was time to
head back towards Bovington. The Railway runs a Park and Ride scheme to keep
traffic to a minimum in Swanage itself.

Here we see
Swanage Harbour in all it's panoramic
beauty. It was actually a bright sunny day but the picture doesn't do it
justice.
